I would like to point out that there is also a fair use justification for this image. While it would be ideal to get a clear CC license, I believe the fair use justification allows the image to be retained even if that is not forthcoming.-- agr ( talk) 23:48, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Maybe it's just too late at night, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to tag the picture I just took of a tin of Bag Balm. Is it GFDL/CC-BY-SA because I took it myself, or does it need to be a fair use claim, since the copyright to the artwork resides with the manufacturer?

The Image:RMS Olympic.jpg was confused with Image:Olympic 1911.jpg. Since Image:Olympic 1911.jpg is in the Public Domain of the United States, so I request for deletion of Image:RMS Olympic.jpg.

Hi, I would like to create IPA chart images for Konkani language article.
I wish to modify this image [1] which is licensed under GDFL so I guess there is no copyright problem in this case(please correct me if I am wrong).
However my main concern is whether I will be violating the copyrights of the book on which my images will be based. It has a copyright:All rights reserved notice. I dont think that the phonetics of a language are covered under copyrights, are they?. The images will be created by me and not scanned from the book. Nor will they be direct copies(the Vowel chart will be significantly simpler than the one in the book) and the source book will be properly refernced. At present the charts exist as tables. Please let me know if I will be violating copyrights.-- Deepak D'Souza 06:37, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
The license tag used for this image identifies the copyright holder as the uploader, which doesn't jive because it is a mugshot. Let me know if this is the case, and I'll find a source and add the appropriate tag. mo talk 05:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I have recieved a personal letter from the Councel of Europe with permission to use certain materials of the Councel in Wikipedia (Ukrainian project). What licence status shall I state for this letter to upload it as a scan file (image)? Сергей Олегович ( talk) 16:26, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
I was going to upload a better version of this, but realized it may be unfree. It's from 1948, by someone who died in 1949. There's a "better version". on the National Archives website, which doesn't appear to make any claims as to copyright status of materials. The only thing that approaches this is the following:
But this doesn't mean that the copyrights were "donated". Further, the PDF with the better version also includes, on page two, a copyrighted image with no indication that it's copyrighted. [2] says that it may be copyrighted; I'm going to tag it as no license pending someone making a more accurate determination. -- NE2 16:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
It says in the description the image page, that the copyright has expired, because of the rule of the life span of the author plus 70 years. However, the person credited as author is George Grantham Baine, who, according to the en wiki, died in 1944. Thus, 70 years after his death is 2014 and that rule cannot be the reason for the image being in the public domain. If the reason is that the picture was taken more than 90 years ago, it should say so in the description. Could somebody please look into it? / Ludde23 Talk Contrib 11:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
I am wondering if Wikipedia has any kind of content provider agreements with your contributors, whether it be a policy statement on the webpage somewhere or a click agreement in order to post their content on Wikipedia. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.111.254.11 ( talk) 18:17, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
I apologize, I think I mis-identified what I'm looking for. I am wondering about content provider agreements. I have read the GNU agreement and it appears to refer to end users of the content on Wikipedia as opposed to an agreement with a person/entity providing content for the website. For example, how it talks about how the licensee referred to in the agreement as "you" can "copy, modify or distribute the work in any way..." (First paragraph un section 1)What I am inquiring is what sort of agreement governs the submission of content (aka the work) to begin with. I hope that makes sense...

Oh dear! The wikipolice (in the form of User:FairuseBot) have noticed that I have used Image:Swisstopo Bluemlisalp 50.png on the page Cartographic relief depiction without going though the necessary procedural hoops.
I think the use is within the spirit of the fair use policies, because the image illustrates the point being made in the article that some Swiss maps indicate the type of ground by the colors of the contour lines. To illustrate this requires a sample of such a map. But I do not understand what I need to do on the image page.
The image was uploaded two years ago, and has been used in three other articles without complaint. There is a {{Non-free fair use in}} for one of these articles ( Cartography of Switzerland), and another for the Swisstopo article which does not in fact use the image. I could add yet another {{Non-free fair use in}} but I cannot see the point, because it just repeats the copyright status and then says in shouty bold text I must include a "detailed non-free use rationale".
What should I do? JonH ( talk) 12:17, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
First, some context: if you look at my contributions you will see that I have been editing Wikipedia off-and-on for over three years, and my edit summaries and talk page comments have always been reasoned and rational. But today, having ventured into the area of non-free images for the first time, I FIND MYSELF USING SHOUTY CAPITALS SO THAT YOU KNOW HOW ANGRY I AM. THIS DOES NOT SURPRISE ME – WHEN READING DISCUSSIONS HERE OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE SEEN ZEALOTS TAKING DELIGHT IN CREATING CONFUSING INSTRUCTIONS SO THAT USERS MAKE MISTAKES, GET ANGRY, AND THEN LEAVE THE PROJECT.
WHEN I SAW WHAT YOU HAD DONE, I SPENT THE NEXT 10 MINUTES PACING UP AND DOWN, SHAKING MY FISTS IN ANGER. I THOUGHT MY QUESTION MADE CLEAR THAT IN Cartographic relief depiction THE IMAGE IS ILLUSTRATING THE FACT THAT MAPS PRODUCED IN SWITZERLAND USE PARTICULAR COLOURS. YOUR SUGGESTION OF CONTACTING WP:GL IS STUPID – THEY COULD PRODUCE A MAP WITH PURPLE AND GREEN SPOTS, BUT THAT ISN'T WHAT SWISSTOPO USE; THEY COULD MAKE A MAP THAT LOOKS LIKE A SWISSTOPO MAP, BUT ONLY BY SLAVISHLY COPYING THE SWISSTOPO STYLE (AND IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T LOOK SO GOOD). WHAT IS NEEDED IS A SAMPLE OF A CURRENT SWISSTOPO MAP, LIKE THE ONE THAT YOU REMOVED, AND THE NON-FREE CONTENT GUIDELINE ENCOURAGES THE REUSE OF AN IMAGE FROM ANOTHER ARTICLE INSTEAD OF USING ANOTHER NON-FREE IMAGE.
I AM SORRY THAT THE EDITORS OF Cartography of Switzerland HAVE LOST THEIR IMAGE GALLERY, BECAUSE I STIRRED THINGS UP INSTEAD OF QUIETLY ADDING A RATIONALE TO THE IMAGE. I DON'T CARE WHAT F***ING SECTION WP:NFCC3a SAYS (and people who know me know that I hardly ever use swear words), THE THREE IMAGES IN THE GALLERY ARE OF THREE DIFFERENT MAP SERIES, AND IT IS QUITE REASONABLE FOR THAT ARTICLE TO SHOW WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.
I DIDN'T REALLY NEED ANY HELP WRITING THE RATIONALES, WHAT PUZZLED ME WAS THE COPYRIGHT TAGS. AFTER I POSTED MY QUESTION, I REALISED THAT THE ORIGINAL UPLOADER HAD PROBABLY MADE A MISTAKE WHEN THEY USED TWO TAGS, AND THIS HAD CONFUSED ME. I THINK THE CORRECT SOLUTION MAY BE TO JUST HAVE ONE {{Non-free fair use in}} TAG (TO JUSTIFY UPLOADING THE IMAGE) AND A {{Non-free image rationale}} FOR EACH USE. BUT I CANNOT SEE WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO SPECIFY ONE ARTICLE IN THE TAG, WHEN THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO {{Non-free 2D art}}, ETC.
I HAVE DECIDED TO REVERT YOUR CHANGES AND MAKE MY OWN STAB AT THE RATIONALES; WE CAN CONTINUE FROM THERE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT A NON-FREE CONTENT REVIEW WILL MAKE OF MY ATTEMPT TO INVOKE WP:BIAS IN A RATIONALE.
PERHAPS I WOULD NOT BE SO ANGRY IF YOU HAD ANSWERED MY QUESTION (What should I do?), CONVINCED ME OF YOUR ARGUMENT, AND LET ME REMOVE THE USES OF THE IMAGES. JonH ( talk) 03:34, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Greetings. I'm interested in using the image on this page, which is taken from a museum exibition called Visionary San Francisco in an article on a related topic ( Skinner's Room). The image shows a squatted bridge, of which the article contains third party description, and the exhibition itself is the subject of critical commentary from The New York Times in the article. I'm confident that the addition of the image would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, but is all this enough to justify using the image under WP:NFCC?

I would like to include this image (the triangles) in the Wikipedia article on Prout (Progressive Utilization Theory). Am I correct to assume usage of this image in this particular article would be acceptable since it is directly pertinent to the article AND I have permission from the copyright holders?
If so, do I need to write the formal letter to the copyright holders and submit that to Wikipedia etc. (I'm confused about that whole process) -- or can I simply place an "image copyright tag" near the image in the Wikipedia article -- if so, does THEIR copyright symbol need to be removed from the image -- or what needs to be done? Sorry, I'm very confused, but I do want to do this correctly.
I have already contacted the copyright holders, and they have granted permission to use the image. However, they had the image copyrighted specifically because they do NOT want it altered in any way. This obviously means the image is NOT "free" material, and I don't want to use it on Wikipedia if there is no way to prevent it from being "altered".

As of today, Google is hosting millions of images owned by LIFE magazine. See here. They are all high-res scans as far as I can tell, and many are pre-1923 (some dating to the 1700s).

On the Winnipeg page in wikipedia theres a satalite image of Winnipeg labeled " Winnipeg.jpg ", later i found an other image of Winnipeg from a satalite view labeled " Winnipeg.jpg " in Wikipedia commons, only the wikipedia commons photo is much more high definition. I was wondering how i could get the " Winnipeg.jpg " photo from wikicommons to the main Wikipedia page so it can be put on the winnipeg page?
the commons version is this: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Winnipeg.jpg the wikipage version is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Winnipeg.jpg
Yet again, an image has been moved from Wikipedia to Wikimedia, and then deleted at Wikimedia because there is insufficient sources information. The first we get to know here on Wikipedia that there is a problem is when the image disappears from the article, too late to do anything on Commons. The original information is long gone from Wikipedia, this one was moved over two years ago. So how can I see the original info uploaded with the image? Possibly the problem can be resolved if that was available. This image has been in the speed of light article for literally years. It is ridiculous that such good images are thrown away for the bureaucratic reason that data was not properly transferred to Commons. Far from the only image I have seen this happen to.

I had earlier uploaded this image. However, I personally requested its deletion when an administrator kept tagging it repeatedly as if insisting upon its deletion. However, I feel quite convinced that it is perfectly right for this image to be included in Madras Presidency#Trade, Industry and Commerce. Pearl fishing is clearly mentioned in the paragraph on fishing industry in the Presidency. See here:
"The Madras Presidency also had a thriving fishing industry. Shark's fins[122], fish maws[122] and fish curing-operations[123] comprised the main sources of income for fishermen. The southern port of Tuticorin was a centre of conch-fishing[124] but Madras, along with Ceylon, was mainly known for its pearl fisheries.[125] Pearl fisheries were harvested by the Paravas and was a lucrative profession."
The photograph appeared in a National Geographic Magazine issue dated February 1926. The photo is not in public domain as per Template:PD-US but is in public domain in many other countries of the world. I am not sure, however, whether its copyright has been renewed. But I don't feel any harm in including that photograph with a fair-use rationale.
The pearl-fishing photograph is a rare image from British India. The southern part of India was internationally famous for pearl-fishing. In fact, pearl-fishing activities in this part of the world have been portrayed in the fiction Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. Yeah, I can add a recent image of pearl-fishing but I feel that the methods and implements would have changed a great deal in these eight decades. And if I were to find a replacement for this particular image I would have to add another from the same article which would, obviously, not be in public domain, either. Practically speaking, I don't find anything wrong in adding that image as it is highly unlikely that the February 1926 issue of the National Geographic Magazine is in mass circulation now and the inclusion of the image would not harm the business interests of the National Geographic Society. I've clearly stated these points in the fair-use rationale for the image.
I request administrators to intervene in this regard and help me with the fair-use rationale and the reinstatement of the image. I feel quite convinced that it belongs to the article and that there is no harm in having it there. If you wish to verify the source, then I'm here to provide all the info you need.- Ravichandar My coffee shop 05:32, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Can an author require than an in-image credit be retained (not cropped out or otherwise removed, or if removed a similar credit added), and/or can they require that Wikipedia credit them on the article itself, while staying within the criteria required by Wikipedia? The conditions require modifications to be allowed, but requiring an in-image credit doesn't prevent image modification even though it may constrain it a bit. Can we accept either of these requirements? I ask because one person has given us a lot of images, but they are a bit annoyed that they get no credit unless you view the image page itself.

Because of the numerous disputes that arise over the copyright status of images and other works used in connection with Wikipedia articles, particularly as to
fair use issues, might it make for less controversy and speedier resolution if Wikipedia established a volunteer panel of Wikipedians who are copyright professors or copyright law practitioners -- to address these issues? It seems to me that many tags are placed by enthusiastic persons who are not well informed in this complex and difficult area, particularly as to what rights are in derivative works and what is fair use.

I was going to upload a better version of this, but realized it may be unfree. It's from 1948, by someone who died in 1949. There's a "better version". on the National Archives website, which doesn't appear to make any claims as to copyright status of materials. The only thing that approaches this is the following:
But this doesn't mean that the copyrights were "donated". Further, the PDF with the better version also includes, on page two, a copyrighted image with no indication that it's copyrighted. [2] says that it may be copyrighted; I'm going to tag it as no license pending someone making a more accurate determination. -- NE2 16:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
It says in the description the image page, that the copyright has expired, because of the rule of the life span of the author plus 70 years. However, the person credited as author is George Grantham Baine, who, according to the en wiki, died in 1944. Thus, 70 years after his death is 2014 and that rule cannot be the reason for the image being in the public domain. If the reason is that the picture was taken more than 90 years ago, it should say so in the description. Could somebody please look into it? / Ludde23 Talk Contrib 11:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh dear! The wikipolice (in the form of User:FairuseBot) have noticed that I have used Image:Swisstopo Bluemlisalp 50.png on the page Cartographic relief depiction without going though the necessary procedural hoops.
I think the use is within the spirit of the fair use policies, because the image illustrates the point being made in the article that some Swiss maps indicate the type of ground by the colors of the contour lines. To illustrate this requires a sample of such a map. But I do not understand what I need to do on the image page.
The image was uploaded two years ago, and has been used in three other articles without complaint. There is a {{Non-free fair use in}} for one of these articles ( Cartography of Switzerland), and another for the Swisstopo article which does not in fact use the image. I could add yet another {{Non-free fair use in}} but I cannot see the point, because it just repeats the copyright status and then says in shouty bold text I must include a "detailed non-free use rationale".
What should I do? JonH ( talk) 12:17, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
First, some context: if you look at my contributions you will see that I have been editing Wikipedia off-and-on for over three years, and my edit summaries and talk page comments have always been reasoned and rational. But today, having ventured into the area of non-free images for the first time, I FIND MYSELF USING SHOUTY CAPITALS SO THAT YOU KNOW HOW ANGRY I AM. THIS DOES NOT SURPRISE ME – WHEN READING DISCUSSIONS HERE OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE SEEN ZEALOTS TAKING DELIGHT IN CREATING CONFUSING INSTRUCTIONS SO THAT USERS MAKE MISTAKES, GET ANGRY, AND THEN LEAVE THE PROJECT.
WHEN I SAW WHAT YOU HAD DONE, I SPENT THE NEXT 10 MINUTES PACING UP AND DOWN, SHAKING MY FISTS IN ANGER. I THOUGHT MY QUESTION MADE CLEAR THAT IN Cartographic relief depiction THE IMAGE IS ILLUSTRATING THE FACT THAT MAPS PRODUCED IN SWITZERLAND USE PARTICULAR COLOURS. YOUR SUGGESTION OF CONTACTING WP:GL IS STUPID – THEY COULD PRODUCE A MAP WITH PURPLE AND GREEN SPOTS, BUT THAT ISN'T WHAT SWISSTOPO USE; THEY COULD MAKE A MAP THAT LOOKS LIKE A SWISSTOPO MAP, BUT ONLY BY SLAVISHLY COPYING THE SWISSTOPO STYLE (AND IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T LOOK SO GOOD). WHAT IS NEEDED IS A SAMPLE OF A CURRENT SWISSTOPO MAP, LIKE THE ONE THAT YOU REMOVED, AND THE NON-FREE CONTENT GUIDELINE ENCOURAGES THE REUSE OF AN IMAGE FROM ANOTHER ARTICLE INSTEAD OF USING ANOTHER NON-FREE IMAGE.
I AM SORRY THAT THE EDITORS OF Cartography of Switzerland HAVE LOST THEIR IMAGE GALLERY, BECAUSE I STIRRED THINGS UP INSTEAD OF QUIETLY ADDING A RATIONALE TO THE IMAGE. I DON'T CARE WHAT F***ING SECTION WP:NFCC3a SAYS (and people who know me know that I hardly ever use swear words), THE THREE IMAGES IN THE GALLERY ARE OF THREE DIFFERENT MAP SERIES, AND IT IS QUITE REASONABLE FOR THAT ARTICLE TO SHOW WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.
I DIDN'T REALLY NEED ANY HELP WRITING THE RATIONALES, WHAT PUZZLED ME WAS THE COPYRIGHT TAGS. AFTER I POSTED MY QUESTION, I REALISED THAT THE ORIGINAL UPLOADER HAD PROBABLY MADE A MISTAKE WHEN THEY USED TWO TAGS, AND THIS HAD CONFUSED ME. I THINK THE CORRECT SOLUTION MAY BE TO JUST HAVE ONE {{Non-free fair use in}} TAG (TO JUSTIFY UPLOADING THE IMAGE) AND A {{Non-free image rationale}} FOR EACH USE. BUT I CANNOT SEE WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO SPECIFY ONE ARTICLE IN THE TAG, WHEN THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO {{Non-free 2D art}}, ETC.
I HAVE DECIDED TO REVERT YOUR CHANGES AND MAKE MY OWN STAB AT THE RATIONALES; WE CAN CONTINUE FROM THERE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT A NON-FREE CONTENT REVIEW WILL MAKE OF MY ATTEMPT TO INVOKE WP:BIAS IN A RATIONALE.
PERHAPS I WOULD NOT BE SO ANGRY IF YOU HAD ANSWERED MY QUESTION (What should I do?), CONVINCED ME OF YOUR ARGUMENT, AND LET ME REMOVE THE USES OF THE IMAGES. JonH ( talk) 03:34, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Looking through the Wikipedia articles on night vision technology I have noticed that they lack images of sample products based on this technology. Such images are available to me through my company, which sells such products. Company owns the images and does not mind their publication with adequate reference.
I have uploaded images, but they were deleted as lacking copyright information, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Image:NVS7_big.gif&action=edit&redlink=1. That was my first attempt at publishing images and I have made a mistake in copyright tag. I have also missed the deadline for changing the tag - I watched them for a week, while they were deleted on 8th day.
I would like to publish the images tagged as {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}}. What is the best way to get images to wikipedia without creating duplicates?

Greetings. I'm interested in using the image on this page, which is taken from a museum exibition called Visionary San Francisco in an article on a related topic ( Skinner's Room). The image shows a squatted bridge, of which the article contains third party description, and the exhibition itself is the subject of critical commentary from The New York Times in the article. I'm confident that the addition of the image would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, but is all this enough to justify using the image under WP:NFCC?

The response by Stifle agrees that the image is legitimately used on WP, but does not address the issue of whether the copyright status shown is correct, which was the reason I posted the item in the first place.

I would like to include this image (the triangles) in the Wikipedia article on Prout (Progressive Utilization Theory). Am I correct to assume usage of this image in this particular article would be acceptable since it is directly pertinent to the article AND I have permission from the copyright holders?
If so, do I need to write the formal letter to the copyright holders and submit that to Wikipedia etc. (I'm confused about that whole process) -- or can I simply place an "image copyright tag" near the image in the Wikipedia article -- if so, does THEIR copyright symbol need to be removed from the image -- or what needs to be done? Sorry, I'm very confused, but I do want to do this correctly.
I have already contacted the copyright holders, and they have granted permission to use the image. However, they had the image copyrighted specifically because they do NOT want it altered in any way. This obviously means the image is NOT "free" material, and I don't want to use it on Wikipedia if there is no way to prevent it from being "altered". However, Wikipedia does seem to allow for the use of copyrighted images, as long as certain (complicated, extensive) steps are taken. I'm willing to take whatever steps are necessary.

Yet again, an image has been moved from Wikipedia to Wikimedia, and then deleted at Wikimedia because there is insufficient sources information. The first we get to know here on Wikipedia that there is a problem is when the image disappears from the article, too late to do anything on Commons.

Possibly the problem can be resolved if that was available. This image has been in the speed of light article for literally years.

I had earlier uploaded this image. However, I personally requested its deletion when an administrator kept tagging it repeatedly as if insisting upon its deletion. However, I feel quite convinced that it is perfectly right for this image to be included in Madras Presidency#Trade, Industry and Commerce. Pearl fishing is clearly mentioned in the paragraph on fishing industry in the Presidency. See here:
"The Madras Presidency also had a thriving fishing industry. Shark's fins[122], fish maws[122] and fish curing-operations[123] comprised the main sources of income for fishermen. The southern port of Tuticorin was a centre of conch-fishing[124] but Madras, along with Ceylon, was mainly known for its pearl fisheries.[125] Pearl fisheries were harvested by the Paravas and was a lucrative profession."
The photograph appeared in a National Geographic Magazine issue dated February 1926. The photo is not in public domain as per Template:PD-US but is in public domain in many other countries of the world. I am not sure, however, whether its copyright has been renewed. But I don't feel any harm in including that photograph with a fair-use rationale.
The pearl-fishing photograph is a rare image from British India. The southern part of India was internationally famous for pearl-fishing. In fact, pearl-fishing activities in this part of the world have been portrayed in the fiction Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. Yeah, I can add a recent image of pearl-fishing but I feel that the methods and implements would have changed a great deal in these eight decades. And if I were to find a replacement for this particular image I would have to add another from the same article which would, obviously, not be in public domain, either. Practically speaking, I don't find anything wrong in adding that image as it is highly unlikely that the February 1926 issue of the National Geographic Magazine is in mass circulation now and the inclusion of the image would not harm the business interests of the National Geographic Society. I've clearly stated these points in the fair-use rationale for the image.
I request administrators to intervene in this regard and help me with the fair-use rationale and the reinstatement of the image. I feel quite convinced that it belongs to the article and that there is no harm in having it there. If you wish to verify the source, then I'm here to provide all the info you need.- Ravichandar My coffee shop 05:32, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Can an author require than an in-image credit be retained (not cropped out or otherwise removed, or if removed a similar credit added), and/or can they require that Wikipedia credit them on the article itself, while staying within the criteria required by Wikipedia? The conditions require modifications to be allowed, but requiring an in-image credit doesn't prevent image modification even though it may constrain it a bit. Can we accept either of these requirements? I ask because one person has given us a lot of images, but they are a bit annoyed that they get no credit unless you view the image page itself.

Because of the numerous disputes that arise over the copyright status of images and other works used in connection with Wikipedia articles, particularly as to
fair use issues, might it make for less controversy and speedier resolution if Wikipedia established a volunteer panel of Wikipedians who are copyright professors or copyright law practitioners -- to address these issues? It seems to me that many tags are placed by enthusiastic persons who are not well informed in this complex and difficult area, particularly as to what rights are in derivative works and what is fair use.

Hi there, I have been looking for an image to place in the infobox on the Bobby Lennox article. Whilst looking for refs I came across this website. There is a photograph there from an old defunct newspaper which would suit it. Would I be able to download it? The newspaper, the Evening Citizen, has not been in circulation since 1974. I'm still trying to get my head round these things, so any advice would be very welcome. Thanks. Titch Tucker ( talk) 17:49, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
Is this how you're supposed to add fair use rationale? Please let me know if the image needs anymore explanation. I don't know much about copyrights. Thanks -- Unpopular Opinion ( talk · contribs) 21:35, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
